Something like Apache Extras might be of interest (though afaict it's really just a branded google code). https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the_apache_software_foundation_launches At the very least I think specific couchapps (implementations of wikis, blogs etc) should be encouraged to go there for hosting. I'm not sure couchdb-lucene, couchapp itself or geocouch (and other future plugins) are entirely suitable, but I guess it depends on how apache extras evolve over time. Cheers Simon
